one neighbor lady actually calls me "Mr Fixit"
Heres a Yamaha TT125...mid October the neighbor kid riding with a massive exhaust leak....obscenely loud and slow as hell....
bring that thing over here says I......
a massive split in the exhaust pipe right up at the head,....2 broken exhaust studs to boot (somebody tried to disassemble...snap, snap)
Ordered new gasket, studs, nuts ...found an affordable used pipe on Ebay...... Engine out, simple stud extraction no good, drilled, retapped and reinstalled studs. Reassemble all....with some detailed carb tweaking...starts on 1 kick...revs quickly and QUIETLY. My neighbors thanking me. Power restored, the kid thanking me too.
No labor $....the kid helped me paint my garage, a fair deal all around. Early November....bike and garage done.
